I made two (almost 3) of these at Christmas and they turned out pretty well -- although I've had the problem of my stuff falling out when a car turned around the corner!

I wasn't sure about your handles, so I placed one handle on each side of the bag, and then I tied the knot.

Aesthetically, I think I would have liked the bag better if I had color-coordinated more. But I thought also, wouldn't it be great to have a bag for each season or holiday -- you could line with St. Patrick's Day fabric fabric for example, and have florals (or patriotic) for summer.

But I had a good time making the bag, and the tutorial was good, too. Thank you!

Wow! I've been looking at the list of tutorials in the Purses, Bags and Wallets section and this is The Best of them all! Thank you, thank you, thank you for writting it in a way we can really understand! These are soooo cute I'm already planning on trying it! Thanks again!!!
